firewood available.Firewood may be purchased outside

are allowed and campfire rings are provided at each
campsite, we encourage visitors to conserve wood
and protect the environment by minimizing the use
of fire and using campstoves instead. Limited burning
hours or campfire bans may be implemented. To preserve
vegetation and ground cover, please don't gather
firewood from the area around your campsite or elsewhere
in the park (this is a ticketable offence under
